Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
विठ्ठलनामाचा नाहीं ज्या विश्वास । तो वसे उदास नरकामध्यें ॥1॥
तयासी बोलतां होइऩल विटाळ । नेव जाये तो जळस्नान करितां ॥ध्रु.॥
विठ्ठलनामाची नाहीं ज्या आवडी । त्याची काळ घडी लेखिताहे ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे मज विठोबाची आण। जरी प्रतिवचन करिन त्यासी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
One who has no faith in Vitthal's Name dwells in a desolate hell. Even speaking to such a person brings contamination that does not wash away with bathing. One who has no love for Vitthal's Name is being counted moment by moment by Death. Says Tuka, I swear by Vitthal: I shall not even answer such a one.
